The group currently has five factories in Germany and several others in China, North and South America, Poland, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. It employs 3000 people (including 1700 in Germany).

The plastic division, which was founded in 1955, can currently rely on about 100 processing machines to which must be added the ones belonging to the Böhm group.

With its three factories located in Germany, the Böhm group offers, in addition to custom-made solutions, a selection of individual standard components (caps and bottles), as well as standard, coordinated complete packaging products. To note also that its three factories also manufacture and distribute complex technical injection moulds used by the medical sector.
